What was Tom Parker's cause of death?

Tom tragically died after a brave battle with brain cancer.

He was diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma back in October 2020.

He was told that he likely has 12 to 18 months to live, but after six rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiotherapy sessions, the singer revealed his tumour is “stable” back in November.

In early March 2022, Parker received treatment in a private hospital abroad in Spain.

Therapies included time in an oxygen machine, massages and a special diet.

A source told the Sun: “Tom has been vocal that he doesn’t think the options available in Britain are perfect so he’s trying elsewhere.”

Once the treatment was completed, Parker returned back to the UK where he managed to join his bandmates on tour in a wheelchair as he was too weak to stand on March 7, 2022.
